Overview
Black Banner is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it. Up to 16 Black Banner stack together in a single inventory slot. It doubles as furnace fuel, good for 1.5 smelts before it is used up.
Black Banner owes its colour to black dye. An ink sac or a wither rose each give one. Hardness 1 is what Black Banner is worth in the block data. The tool tag on Black Banner is an axe, with no tier requirement behind it. Its blast resistance repeats that 1, so Black Banner offers no shelter.
